huh. Thats disturbing.

This is very sad, for all involved. In our efforts to protect children, we must
remember that children often tell us what they think we want to hear. Leading
questions, even the one about feeling safe in the home, suggest the anticipated
answer and/or influence a child's thinking. In an effort to please the
adult, the child may tell something that is not true. Young children (below the
age of accountability) are unable to discern reality and fantasy effectively.
Parents, educators, medical professionals, psychologists, and others must be
very careful when questioning children. Observation of the session between a
professional and child by a second professional assists in determining the
reality of what a child reports. Parents should be present whenever their
children are questioned by law enforcement officers, social workers, school
personnel, etc.
leading questions | 7:59 a.m. Feb. 21, 2008
A therapist has to ask questions so where do leading questions come in? I think
asking if the child feels safe at home is a legitimate question. The answer was
frightening, not the question. If the child would have said because I fight with
my siblings, it would have been different but to have a detailed answer I think
is key, not the question.
I think there should be a better legal system in place, like 2 counselors for a child, to protect both, child and therapist.

Having first hand knowledge of abuse, I agree with you that it is sad for all
involved. Leading is wrong. But at the same time, parents should not be
present in the questioning of children. Another "safe adult" perhaps,
but not the parents. If the abuse happened by a parent the child would feel
uncomfortable and not say anything with their parents present. And most abuse
is by a parent.

I am a victim of over-zealous social workers who investigated a groundless
accusation of abuse. It was a looking-glass world where I was guilty unless I
could conclusively prove I was innocent. That is impossible, because you cannot
prove a negative fact.
I challenged the social workers who claimed they were treating my child. After going around and around and around with them I was more frustrated than ever.
("we don't make conclusions, we only treat" "Then what are you treating?" "we don't diagnose, we only treat" "Then how do you know if your treatment is working" "We don't make conclusions, we only treat")
The legal system also presumed I was guilty, and treated me like a criminal, even though all of the accusations had been discredited and were unsubstantiaed. The court nevertheless ordered supervised vists "to protect ME," just in case I was guilty.
The whole system is a nightmare. I hope something can be done to protect innocent people like me from the horrible treatment from over-zealous social workers.

Often, the initial report is given in a childrens' group education
setting.
I don't know any children that have fantasies about being abused or raped unless that has been part of their reality. The idea that young children will tell someone only (or anything about) what they want to hear, makes it "open season" on young children.
Please take it seriously if any child reports abuse of any kind! It probably is taking every ounce of courage they have just to "tell" someone.

CAROL TATE - Do you personally know this woman? Do you have ALL the facts - or
are you just responding to a one sided article? I don't know if the woman
is guilty or not because I only have this article to go by. I just wonder if you
are reacting to personal knowledge or just reacting to react...Just asking.

An ex-boyfriend told me that his ex-wife wanted sole custody of their 3-year-old
boy. She did not win it - they got shared custody. His attorney told him
"The next thing that will happen is that your wife will accuse you of
sexually abusing your son." Within days he found himself under arrest for
exactly that. The whole ordeal was horrible for him but finally ended when the
little boy said in court that his mommy told him to say what he said. Then she
disappeared and he has never seen his son since - every time he finds them they
up and move to another state. Child abuse is HORRIBLE - but being falsely
accused has got to be a close second.
Retired Teacher | 11:34 a.m. Feb. 21, 2008
It is true that children will tell adults what they think the adult wants to
hear. Teachers are very careful when they ask questions so they do not
"give away" the correct answer. I do not think children
"fantasize" about abuse, but a certain level of maturity of the brain
is required before a child can distinguish what is real from what is not
("fantasy"). For this reason, most parents are vigilant about what
their children watch on TV - young children do not understand that violence on
the news is real while violence on a TV series or in a cartoon is not. Reports
of child abuse must be investigated. Statements from a child must be carefully
worded and presented - by an expert, if available - in order to prosecute the
perpetrator. Not only do young children occasionally tell a story which is
untrue; teenage female students have threatened male teachers with reports of
molestation in order to get better grades. Our society needs to protect innocent
adults, too.

Retired Teacher: Amen to you closing statement that innocent adults need
protection, too. Why isn't there a sanction against people who continue to
perpetrate false allegations when they have been repeatedly shown to be false?
My ex is allowed to say whatever she feels like, and I am told to "just live with it" (seriously). Meanwhile, the legal costs have been astronomical.

Detective | 1:38 p.m. Feb. 21, 2008
As a retired Dective I have some knowledge of Snows Methods. I was involved in
investigating some of her allegations, some of them were so far fetched I was
suprised that anyone would belive her. One that stands out, is many children in
one neighborhood were flown in an airplane to another city and made to do
indecent things, then flown back the same day and taken back to their homes. And
yet not one child mentioned to their parents or siblings that they had been on a
plane, which you would think they would have a hard time keeping that to
themselves. No one saw them leave or return. Ya right
ABB: I was there...I know | 2:19 p.m. Feb. 21, 2008
There are three people that MUST be protected: the child, the accused and the
therapist. Such protections can be afforded by mandating that all interactions
with a therapist be videotaped and preserved. If leading or suggestive
questions are asked by the therapist, one would have clear evidence to
demonstrate it. Of course all of this requires that the therapist have complete
integrity in the discharge of her professional duties. Absent that, it becomes
a free-for-all in the legal system. Addressing the Bullock case in 1989, Utah
Supreme Court Chief Justice I. Daniel Stewart stated, "...the sole basis
for judging the reliability of the methods Dr. Snow uses, according to her own
testimony, is her 'own integrity is all you would have.' But since she
starts an interrogation with the assumption that abuse has occurred, she then
proceeds to prove that point." "Thus, whatever expertise Dr. Snow
demonstrated has to do with obtaining evidence from children to prove an
assumption and not to elicit truthful responses." "Any claim
that...Dr. Snow's own expertise and experience validate her
conclusions...is devastating refuted by her own statement, 'I didn't
believe any of those kids when they told me it didn't happen.'"

I agree with Carol Tate it is finally time to go after this evil women. Yes I do
know her & her methods that she uses. She has destroyed homes,
families & neighborhoods. I know there is child abuse that is happening & that is sad very sad. It also is very sad when innocent people have their lives torn apart because of false allegations. Snow has caused much damage with her methods & she needs to be stopped.

Hard to believe it's taken over 20 years to see any action taken toward
this woman. She was allowed to take a voluntary probation and have charges
dropped. How long is her probation? God willing, this person will never again
be allowed to practice her so-called profession in the community. Along with
the destruction of lives and families look at the children who have had their
childhood marred forever, who are still trying all these years later to
reconcile their lives and be good father�s and
mother�s now. I do know the innocent who have suffered.

Who would question a retired detective? Probably anyone who knew you were
labeled �astonishingly incompetent� by
the mayor for your narrow minded and incorrect assumptions about who you
insisted was the valid suspect in the Elizabeth Smart case.
No investigative or court documents in any of the alleged sex ring cases in which Snow was involved had components even vaguely resembling what you described.
In fact, your assertions are identical to allegations made in the famous McMartin sex ring case. Who�d suspect a cop of plagarism?
A more accurate explanation for your bias may be the embarrassment of the law enforcement community when the Attorney General's Office successfully prosecuted the Lehi case which they discounted.

Carol....let's be forthcoming here. You and your husband were accused in
an ecclesiastical setting by eight separate adults of sexual abuse when they
were minors and Barbara Snow wasn't the therapist for all the victims.

Why are we spending time on a 20yr. old case where a jury found him guilty and
the sentence was upheld by the Utah Supreme Court. It really
doesn�t matter, it�s old news. We are
forgetting the perp that started this whole mess mentioned in
today�s article. Since there was no custody issues and/or
divorce it�s hard to find a reason why two separate people
implicated the same person and what motive a therapists would have. Quit
forgetting about the abused.

As one who has been fortunate to have been treated by Dr. Snow, I am grateful
everyday that she has helped me through one of the most devastating events of
my life. Without her professional care, I would not be a functioning adult
today. We need more like her to help those of us who have been sexual abused as
it often times takes years to heal. I am now guilt free and realize it was not
my fault, something my abuser was very good at making me believe.... especially
since I am a male.
getreal | 6:03 p.m. Feb. 21, 2008
A common problem with is child abuse is we all think we know a little about it,
when we really do not. (e.g. Detective/Carol Tate) Getting to the root of the
problem of child abuse is very complicated and unfortunately very real. We have
to ask ourselves why would therapists want to plant false memories? That makes
no sense. Therapists recount what they hear but too many times they are then
crucified for their message. Just like Snow. To be quite honest why we anyone
select this as a career based on what is happening to Snow. As a society we need
to start taking abuse allegations more seriously and try to fix the system so
victims feel like they will be believed and therapists feel like there is some
backup support for what they do!! Thank goodness for therapists like Snow who
have the guts and the expertise to recognize child abuse and protect our
children, at apparently great personal sacrifice!! Get real people.
False accusations destroy lives | 6:22 p.m. Feb. 21, 2008
If this community had any idea just how many lives have been destroyed, how many
children have been messed up for life, how people have been accused by Snow you
would be flabbergasted! The list of those she has falsely accused is very
lengthy and includes some very upstanding people living here along the Wasatch
Front. You might be quite surprised to find a name on that list of someone you
know and love. When Snow�s sword of accusation strikes its
impact destroys with rippling effect and not even her own family is safe. Her
unethical, threatening and manipulative techniques are no match for a child. She
doesn�t do proper forensic investigation. Snow decides
herself if something happened and then sets forth to prove it. Until you have
seen these things happen first hand you might be tempted to say
�that can�t
happen� but let me tell you from one who seen the
devastation and has heard the heart wrenching stories of many who have
experienced this - it CAN happen and it DOES happen! She must be stopped.
This creates a huge distraction from the real child perpetrators and destroys
the lives of innocent children and adults.
getreal | 6:34 p.m. Feb. 21, 2008
Once again we have some people who don't get it. (False accusations destroy
lives) Where do you think therapists get the names? From their clients. You
talk about Snow's unethical techniques but what are they and how do you
know. For someone who has been in practice for 20+ years Snow is bound to have
treated hundreds of people and unless you believe Santa Claus is behind all of
this, then there are a lot of real child perpetrators running lose and as anyone
in the professional field knows, they can appear to be very upstanding people.
Forensic investigation is used by police not therapists!!! Nice try "False
Accusations" but thank you anyway for proving my previous point!!
Job is to heal not investigate | 10:37 p.m. Feb. 21, 2008
The job of a therepist is to provide intervention to children and thier families following abuse. To help them process their experiences and begin healing from the abuse they have endured. The job of a therepist is NOT to investigate a possible crime. That should be performed by trained and skilled professionals of investigation who know how to limit truma to the victim and protect the integrity of the evidence.
Forensic Investigation-
Objective, accurate, and skilled investigation of alleged child sexual abuse incidents start with a Forensic Interview which is an informational, unbiased gathering of data of a possible victim with the goal of accurate, and defensible findings regarding a possible crime.
This approach enhances the quality of assistance that is provided to children and families, improves investigations, and reduces the trauma to child victims.

sad: because she must be good at what she does and people seek her out. As you
can see from some of the comments, a therapists who treats those that are
sexually abused is treated the way a women used to be treated when they were
raped....its their fault. That's what's SAD.

Dr Snow is one of the most upstanding, brilliant, caring individuals in her
field. She has been an advocate for children and families in our community for
decades. She has saved so many individuals, both children and adults. I have
known her personally and professionally for 35 years. Many have searched for a
reliable, "normal" therapist and have been relieved to find someone so
skilled and gifted. It is sad that people protect other adults at the expense of
children and the truth. Child Abuse is rampant.
Believe the child | 8:56 a.m. Feb. 22, 2008
No one wants to believe that abuse happens to those they love. No one wants to
believe that the one they love has abused a child. Child sex abuse is so
troubling that many decide it just can't happen.
My child was sexually abused by a man my family knew. There was physical evidence to support the claims. My child was 5 years old. The abuser gave my child a STD. My own mother had to call a nurse to see if there was any other way to get the STD. In the end she still didn't believe her own grandchild.
Please start thinking of the victim first. Try to believe the child. How would a child make up stories about sex abuse? The child must have witnessed the things they describe.

Don't overlook this | 9:35 a.m. Feb. 22, 2008
I'm still waiting for all the dedicated defenders of Ms. Snow to explain
this:
"Snow admitted to destroying a man's computer after allegations surfaced that he sexually abused one of Snow's relatives and had pornographic images of the child, which he threatened to distribute, according to the attorney's statement."
So, she DESTROYED the evidence of child sex abuse perpetrated against one of her OWN relatives, rather than taking it to the police and having the abuser arrested?
If she is such a dedicated foe of child sex abuse, then WHY on God's Green Earth would she help an abuser cover up his crimes?
Why isn't she in jail for obstruction of justice?
Am I the only one who sees something highly suspicious about all this?

Ms. Snow and her followers are dangerous people. They are preventing children
who are truly being abused from getting the help they need. Ms. Snow has many
who she has taught to use her "techniques" and they are perpetuating
her distruction. I personally have seen a family destroyed by their
"therapist"'s techniques. The children have in no way been
protected, they have been further harmed. Just a question, what are the the
purported therapist's doing to the children while they are under hypnosis?
How do we know the therapist is not abusing the children?

I read these comments and it makes me crazy when people think just because
Barbara Snow (one individual) is being attacked that somehow those people are
attaching ALL therapists and DON�T care about children and
DON�T have great concerns about abuse and
DON�T want to protect children. The tremendous need to
protect children doesn�t automatically make all those who
work in that field ethical and professional. Why is the profession of therapist
immune to unethical, unprofessional behavior? Every other profession has its
�bad apples� why can't you
conceive that therapists do too?
I find it interesting that the majority of those defending Barbara Snow have absolutely no personal knowledge of her dealings with children and families. The majority of those who want her stopped have knowledge of her dealings.
It would seem to me that experience out weights generalized opinions that have no backing.

Where is the PROOF??? | 3:07 p.m. Feb. 23, 2008
That 'Recovered Memory Therapy' is valid and can be relied on. Barbara
Snow uses hypnotherapy as the methodolgy for recovering memories that are
supposedly buried deep in the unconscience mind. These therapies developed in
the 1980's were center stage back then and have been proven to be
completely unreliable over the last 25 years. The brain is extremely complex.
The study of the mind and memory is still in it's infancy. One of the Utah
Division of Professional Licensing's main compalints brought against
Barbara Snow is that she does not keep up on current scientific discoveries and
advances in the study of the brain and memory. Over the last 25 years there have
been hundreds of criminal complaints of abuse derived from recovered (repressed)
memory therapy. Most of these cases of recovered memory were in the realm of
'satanic ritual abuse'. Only a handful of these cases were ever proven
and brought convictions. Some of these convictions were even overturned when
DNA or other evidence exonerated the fasley accused and imprisoned. Barbara Snow
is still using the methodologies of the 1980's. And as a result, innocent
people continue to be falsely acussed and FALSE ACCUSATIONS DAMAGE EVERYONE
ENVOLVED!!

As an adult, I sought out Dr. Snow a few years ago to help me work out some
issues in my marriage. I knew her and trusted her and didn't believe for a
second the accusations against her. At first I was pleased but then things got
strange. I was shocked when she began to suggest to me that my problems stemmed
from repressed memories of sexual abuse. I had worked with a skilled therapist
before and had a pretty good handle on my issues and I was sure this was not it.
She seemed obsessed and driven to prove this theory. She brought in an
unlicensed practicioner with a degree in theology to help me
"remember". This was very disturbing and I quit seeing her. I was
also bothered about her not practicing patient confidentiality. She told me
details of her work with other patients who we both knew.
I really don't know the truth is and I don't want to pass judgement. I only know that I experienced her suggesting and really pushing her theory without any other evidence that my problems were a result of repressed memories of sexual abuse. It was very scarry.

confusion, regret and much worse mental illness than they ever had to begin

superstitious age | 7:34 p.m. Aug. 5, 2008
I spent many hours studying the methods and works of social workers in the
mid-eighties when the child abuse crusade began. I was not only unimpressed I
was incredulous that they were getting away with leading questions, and
threatening children who did not "co-operate" with them. I still am
amazed that we live in such a superstitious and evil age, and that it works to
destroy the innocence of children and adults alike.
It is amazing to me that people are still having to ask for videotaping of all questioning of children and evidencing the techniques used in "treating"/interrogating little children. It is ridiculous that this should not have become standard practice by now. Snow is no different than many others of her ilk. Notorious, questionable cases are legion. I still recall a well-respected doctor practising in Utah who would abuse little children and then say "Did anyone ever do this to you?"
Snow smashed up someone's computer that contained evidence of abuse? The woman must be a nut case.
